For much of the information on the history of Edil-Amarandh, I am indebted to Jacqueline Allison's wide-ranging study
The Annaren Scripts: History Rewritten

The Balance,

13.
See Jerome Casson's pioneering study of the Speech,
La Parole d'Edil-Amarandh
(Paris: La Deuxieme Universite, 1996).

14.
Arguments raged between Bards on the origin and power of the Speech for centuries; however, the principal disagreements were best summarized by Hulmir of Norloch (N367) in
The Light of Words: A Discourse on Sacred Names
and in a series of dialogues called
The Skins of Speech,
by Salmira of Jerr-Niken (N456), reportedly destroyed in the sack of Jerr-Niken. Subsequent commentaries and partial copies that survived indicate she was the first to authoritatively theorize the syntactical nature of the Speech.
